NADA 2011

NADA is fantastic this year, with strong galleries, strong work, and strong sales. We only made it through half of the fair yesterday, and we’ll be going back today, but in the meantime you can see some of our favorite booths so far in the gallery below.

NADA opened to feverish crowds Thursday morning, dealers say. “It's cliche word to use,” Michael Gillespie of Foxy Production told us, “but they really were frenzied”. Gillespie described an opening in which both he and his partner John Thomson were pulled by four or more collectors at a time wanting to purchase work. Only one large painting by young artist Gabriel Hartley remains, along with a few unhung smaller works.
